PICKERINGTON, Ohio (July 7, 2003) - AMA Pro Racing and Kenworthy's
Motocross Park have been forced to postpone this weekend's AMA
Chevy Trucks U.S. Motocross Championship event due to extensive rain and
threat of flooding. The event, originally scheduled for July 12 and 13,
will be tentatively rescheduled for Sept. 6 and 7.

AMA Pro Racing Director of Competition, Merrill Vanderslice says the
postponement was a joint decision between AMA Pro Racing and the event
promoter. "Don Kenworthy informed us of the situation with the
track and expressed concern about their ability to hold the event,"
said Vanderslice. "The incessant rains, combined with the threat
of severe flooding from the nearby Great Miami River, made it clear that
we'd have to postpone the race. There's simply no way
we're going to be able to park the team trucks and safely get
spectators in and out of the event under these conditions."

According to Kenworthy, the track is currently under about two feet of
water with no way of knowing whether or not the water would recede by
race time.
